His surgeon advised him to start moving and keep moving. “I started riding Pedego bikes at Pedego South Norwalk in Connecticut, and I had so much fun while staying fit that I decided to come out of retirement and open Pedego Naples,” said Joe. “Naples has always attracted a lot of fun-seekers with its miles of unspoiled beauty and exciting destinations,” said Pedego Electric Bikes CEO and co-founder Don DiCostanzo. “With Pedego Naples, North and South, riders are the exciting new jet-set able to ride many more miles around town.” About Pedego Naples North & South Pedego Naples offers two locations, combining to make it the region’s premier dealer in Pedego Electric Bikes.
